I recently visited Aasif Briyani in Mannargudi and had a pleasant experience overall. Here's my detailed review: Ambiance: 3.9/5 The ambiance was decent, simple yet comfortable enough to enjoy your meal. Service: 3.6/5 Service was okay, not too fast but manageable. The staff were polite. Food Quality: 3.8/5 I ordered their Chicken Nattukozhi Biryani and Aasif Special Tandoori Chicken. Food Experience: The biryani was a bit of a letdown -- the chicken used didn't seem like traditional nattukozhi (country chicken), but more like regular broiler chicken. The spices and herbs were mild, and while the flavor was okay, it didn't stand out too much. The Aasif Special Tandoori Chicken was the highlight! It had a tangy, yummy flavor with a unique twist. Definitely one of the best Tandoori versions I've had -- must try. Also tried the Karaikudi Chicken Rice -- it had a rich aroma and carried that authentic Tamil Nadu style flavor. It reminded me a little of Schezwan rice but with a clear local twist. Other Points: Couple-friendly environment. Parking is a bit tricky -- only limited roadside parking available. They accept digital payments, which is convenient. Overall Rating: 3.8/5 Summary: A nice experience overall, especially if you're trying their Tandoori dishes.
